Silicon carbide abrasive belt 78186

1" (25 mm) W x 18" (457 mm) L 80 MX S/C DynaCut MicroMesh Belt Extremely uniform sizes of Silicon Carbide abrasive bonded to a very flexible cloth backing using a flexible and resilient adhesive results in an abrasive belt that removes material uniformly and rapidly generating a uniform scratch pattern without deep or random scratches like a rigid fixed abrasive belt. The uniform scratch pattern allows for the use of finer grades of abrasives in fewer steps to achieve the final finish Smaller chips and flexibility of the backing allow the sharp silicon carbide abrasive to cut without fracturing, reducing heat build up and resulting in a product life that is 7 to 15 times as long as traditional coated abrasives
